The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen
Series: Hart and Mercy #1

The Princess Bride meets You’ve Got Mail in this enchantingly quirky, completely refreshing fantasy with a rom-com-worthy premise.

Hart is a marshal, tasked with patrolling the magical wilds of Tanria. It’s an unforgiving job, and he’s got nothing but time to ponder his loneliness.

Mercy never has a moment to herself. She’s been single-handedly keeping Birdsall & Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart-ache Hart, the man with a knack for showing up right when her patience is thinnest.

After yet another run-in with Merciless Mercy, Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to “A Friend”. Much to his surprise, he receives an anonymous reply, and a tentative friendship is born. Little does Hart know he’s baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most. . .

Set in a world equally full of magic and demigods as it is donuts and small-town drama, this utterly unique fantasy is sure to sweep you off your feet.

My Thoughts

This book, meant as a short read, to fill the time between waiting for my sister to catch up on our last book read, (on book 6 of 7 of a huge binge of SJM) has truly made it’s way to the top, amongst my favourite books ever!

I went into this book expecting few things and was so, so surprised to find myself sucked in to the world Bannen had laid before me.

The characters became part of my life and had me snorting, smiling and in some places sobbing before the pages.
This story was an absolute treasure for my soul, that left me delving into more of Bannens works and adding her to my to be watched list.

I don’t often give reviews of this nature unless I really feel that a book is deserving of it.

This book is.

I urge you to look past your hesitation of cosy, fantasy, romance apprehension and give it a whirl.
I hope their words reach your soul too.
